Area gardeners have a new tool to try a range of crops and to connect with fellow growers, with a new seed library established by Sarasota County.

The seed library, available at the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) Extension Sarasota County office at 6700 Clark Road in Sarasota, allows community members to “check out” one or two packets of seeds of their choosing at no cost. In return, they donate their excess, viable seeds for others to use.
